Dolphins' Reese Taylor: Done for day
Rotowire
Taylor (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Vikings.
Taylor suffered a quad injury in the first half, and his day will ultimately come to a premature end. The cornerback operates primary as a special-teams option, so his absence won't have much of an impact on Miami's defense.

Dolphins' Dante Trader: Questionable to return Sunday
Rotowire
Trader (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Minnesota.
The 23-year-old has had a quality 2026 campaign, so his absence wouldn't be ideal for the Dolphins defense. While Trader is off the field, it could mean more snaps for rookie Michael Taaffe.

Dolphins' Chop Robinson: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Robinson has cleared the concussion protocol and is available to play in Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
The defensive end likely suffered the concussion in Week 1 against the Raiders and then missed the Dolphins' Week 2 clash with the 49ers.

Dolphins' Robert Beal: DNP Wednesday
Rotowire
Beal (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Beal exited the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the 49ers early with a hamstring injury. The defensive end's inability to practice at the start of Week 3 means the injury could be more than a minor strain. Unless Beal can upgrade his practice participation by Friday, there is little to no chance the defensive end will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Quiet performance in Week 2
Rotowire
Brooks recorded three total tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 35-13 loss to San Francisco.
Brooks uncharastically quiet, registering his fewest tackles in a game since Week 17 of the 2024 campaign. The linebacker notched a career-high 183 total tackles over 17 regular-season games in 2025, and he'll likely be more busy Week 3 versus the Chiefs.
